[Verse 1]
He clocks out with smoke on his sleeves
She comes home with a tired, kind heart
Two little boots by the mudroom door
And a table full of work and art
Her hands know hurt and healing
His hands know flames and rain
But when the supper's on the stove
They both pour in again
[Pre-Chorus]
Out past the fence line
Under that big sky
We learned what stays
When the days run dry
[Chorus]
We made this life together
Built it plank by plank
We made this life together
With a prayer and a laugh
Two boys in the pasture
Running free and loud
We made this life together
And we’re still standing proud
[Verse 2]
Saturday’s for fence posts
Sunday’s for the pew
Then a mower in the back field
And a rescue call or two
The boys chase grasshoppers
By the old red barn
While she sets out bandages
And he stacks split firewood hard
[Pre-Chorus]
Some days are heavy
Some days run wild
But home is a lesson
Taught by every mile
[Chorus]
We made this life together
Built it plank by plank
We made this life together
With a prayer and a laugh
Two boys in the pasture
Running free and loud
We made this life together
And we’re still standing proud
[Bridge]
When the sirens fade
And the porch light glows
We watch those boys
Grow into what they know
Strong like the hinge
Soft like the rain
Made by two hearts
Doing the hard days
[Chorus]
We made this life together
Built it plank by plank
We made this life together
With a prayer and a laugh
Two boys in the pasture
Running free and loud
We made this life together
And we’re still standing proud
[Outro]
Yeah, we made this life
On a piece of ground
Hand in hand
We keep it sound
